#Rams make it official: A one-year deal for OG Davin Joseph (@DavinJoseph75).

It’s really hard not to like this pickup on paper, especially when given the circumstances of his signing. As you remember, the Rams hosted Joseph on a visit in March (which was also discussed briefly in this morning’s piece), but the 30-year-old two-time Pro Bowler left St. Louis without a contract. Much of our grade for the signing is due to the Rams holding out and signing Joseph to what will surely be a much less costly deal than any he would have signed prior to the draft (financial details of the contract are still undisclosed).
The Rams now have a talented-albeit-injury prone veteran guard to add to a suddenly crowded offensive line group. What’s more is that t28 May 2014 14:23:23 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/grade_day_the_st_louis_rams_signing_of_davin_joseph/16551925

According to ESPN Boston, the Patriots hosted free agent G Davin Joseph for a visit.
Joseph has met with the Cowboys since he was released by Tampa Bay.
Joseph, 30, has spent his entire career with the Buccaneers, before being released earlier this offseason. He was set to make $6 million in 2014 before being cut.
The two-time Pro Bowler has struggled recently, missing the 2012 season with a knee injury, and grading out poorly last season. Pro Football Focus rated him No. 80 out of 81 qualifying guards.

The Patriots hosted guard Davin Joseph on a free-agent visit, sources told ESPN’s Field Yates and Mike Reiss. Joseph, who was drafted No. 23 overall in the 2006 draft out of Oklahoma, was released on March 8 after spending eight seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Joseph, who started 16 games last season at right guard, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection (2008 and 2011). He rated negatively on ProFootballFocus.com in 2013 as he recovered from a torn patellar tendon in his right knee that kept him out for the entire 2012 season. Joseph was injured against the Patriots in a preseason game.
He signed a massive seven-year, $53 million contract with the Buccaneers before the 2011 season. Joseph’s former head coach, Greg Schiano, was spotted with the Patriots brass at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

According to Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas, the Cowboys have brought in offensive guard Davin Joseph, formerly of the Buccaneers, and former Cardinal reciver LaRon Byrd will visit this week as well.
Joseph, is the more intriguing candidate, coming off a dreadful season in Tampa is in need for a fresh start. It is worth noting that Joseph is a two-time Pro Bowler. At the age of 30, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that he cannot return to his pro-bowl status.
Byrd, and undrafted free-agent in 2012, has only one reception for eight yards. He may be brought in and tested throughout training camp. The Cowboys are just taking peeks at any receivers that could add a bit of depth.

However, they were unsuccessful and instead cut the 30-year-old veteran, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday.Three days before free agency begins for the NFL, the Bucs released right guard Davin Joseph, their first-round pick in 2006 who started 99 games over the past seven seasons. Head coach Lovie Smith has said he does not believe the Bucs got their money's worth from some offensive linemen last season, and put some action behind his words on Saturday.Joseph was a solid part of the Bucs offensive line for seven solid seasons, playing as right guard next to the center. A guard in football has two primary jobs, to protect the quarterback, and to open holes for the running back. At 6'3 and weighing in at 313 pounds, Joseph was a catalyst in preventing sacks.

“Their house, their rules,” Joseph tells Tampa Tribune.⁰⁰Sorry Davin, rent is up for you. #Buccaneers release the guard. Free up cap.
— Ronnie K (@RonnieKRadio) March 8, 2014
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released guard Davin Joseph, saving Tampa Bay some money on the salary cap with his release after failed attempts at a trade. Prior to the 2011 season. Joseph and the Buccaneers agreed on a 7 year, $52.5 million contract that, at the time, tagged Joseph as the franchise guard to lead the trenches for years to come.
Since the signing. It’s been all but smooth sailing as Joseph encountered injuries, struggles on the field and ultimately the release of the 30 year old veteran, who now embarks on free agency. “Free agency will be a new adventure for me.” “Their house, their rules,” Joseph told the Tampa Tribune.

The Bucs cut Joseph on Saturday, a league source confirmed. The move ends Joseph's eight-year career with Tampa Bay since he was taken 23rd overall in the 2006 NFL draft. He played in 100 games, starting 99 times during that span, and he made the Pro Bowl after the 2008 and 2011 seasons.
New coach Lovie Smith had made it known that he was disappointed with the performance of the Bucs' high-priced offensive linemen during the final season of Greg Schiano's regime. Joseph was scheduled to make $6 million next season, and he was reportedly shopped as a possible trade piece before his release Saturday.
Joseph sustained a devastating right-knee injury in August 2012 when he tore his patellar tendon during a preseason victory over the New England Patriots at Raymond James Stadium. He returned last season and started all 16 games, but he fell short ...08 Mar 2014 14:09:00 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/buccaneers_release_two_time_pro_bowl_guard_davin_joseph/15957368

Joseph, 30, is entering the four year of his seven-year, $52.5 million contract that includes $19 million guaranteed. He has a base salary of $6 million coming his way in 2014, which is followed by base salaries of $7 million in 2015 and 2016.
Joseph underwent knee surgery in 2012 and, upon returning to game action, really struggled for the Buccaneers last season.
Pro Football Focus had him rated as the second worst qualifying guard in the league allowing three sacks, seven quarterback hits and 29 hurries.
While he is a former Pro Bowl guard, it could be tough for the Buccaneers to find a lot interest in him given the knee injury, his poor 2013 season and the fact that he is due sizable base salaries in the coming years.

His contributions to the community are well documented. His smile and friendly demeanor is contagious. He was drafted in the first round of the 2006 draft and has turned in two Pro Bowl seasons. So why is there so much talk suggesting the Bucs cut or release him? Joseph, 30, is set to carry a $6 million cap figure in 2014. With no penalties towards the cap if he is released, the former Oklahoma Sooner has become a prime candidate to be given the boot if he does not agree to a restructure. Becoming a cap casualty in the NFL is the norm. In this case, Joseph should not be a statistic. Lots of the talk is due to a 2013 season that was full of disappointment due to his play. From missing some time in the preseason to potentially battling the effects of MRSA throughout 2013, Joseph’s reasons for being unable to perform at the level we are used to watching him play at may have been for reasons other than just age or that his gam14 Feb 2014 18:45:06 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/talk_of_a_davin_joseph_release_is_unwarranted/15790604
